His... little girlfriend?
Emily was stunned, but she did not refute Henry’s comment.
Right now, what mattered was how to help him save this situation.
At the sight of Henry, Berry got angrier.
Especially, Henry was late because he took his little girlfriend to the hospital, which was even more unacceptable.
Berry thought that Henry’s girlfriend felt sick was not a big deal. How dare Henry keep him waiting all morning because of such a trifle!
Thus, Berry was loath to work with such an unreliable person in the future.
Everyone present knew Berry was furious.
Apart from Henry, no one else had the guts to laugh.
Henry was absent of the meeting, for his girlfriend didn’t feel well. Berry suspected that Henry would go much further after cooperation.
Emily was afraid that this big project would be aborted because of her.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly covered her mouth and started to vomit in front of everyone.
She didn’t feel well so she went to the hospital. Now she was vomiting ...
Everyone was stunned. They were adults. How couldn’t they figure out what was going on?
Henry’s smile froze. This girl … However, he quickly calmed himself down.
Henry hugged Emily, who finally stopped retching, and smiled at Berry, “I’m really sorry. It’s just an accident …”
Henry didn’t explain what it was.
Despite of his uneasy smile, he was joyful.
He looked at the little girl in his arms affectionately.
Everyone understood.
It was not a big deal that his girlfriend got sick. But that his girlfriend got pregnant was something big.
“Mr. Lopez, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose, and Henry didn’t …” Emily pretended to vomit again.
“Abby, quickly take Miss Gale inside to have a rest.” Ashton immediately ordered.
Abby rushed over and respectfully said to Emily, “Miss Gale, let me take you to rest.”
Emily nodded. Before she left, she apologized to Berry again.
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Lopez. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
“… It doesn’t matter. Take care of yourself.”
She didn’t feel well, but she bent and apologized. Seeing this, Berry didn’t have the heart to blame her.
No matter how furious Berry was, Emily’s pitiful look disarmed him immediately.
Henry smiled lightly and said, “It’s time for lunch. Mr. Lopez, how about coming to our restaurant for lunch?”
Berry looked at him. Actually, cooperating with the Sharp Group was of great benefit to them.
But what happened this morning did piss him off.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Sharp Group was an ideal partner, he wouldn’t have waited until now.
They were both influential people. Now, Berry almost cooled his temper.
After thinking for a while, Berry nodded.
Ashton heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, “I’ll go prepare lunch for you. After you!”
…
Emily only stayed in the main building for a while. After Henry and Berry left the lobby, she sneaked back to her company.
After lunch, Emily ran into Sally and Lois, who had rushed back from school.
As they saw Emily, Sally’s eyes lit up. She dragged Emily to a corner with Lois, in an attempt to force her to confess.
“Don’t be too excited. Be careful!”
Lois warned Sally at the right time, afraid that this rude fellow would accidentally hurt Emily’s belly.
Shocked by her own actions, Sally hurriedly look down at Emily’s belly and said anxiously, “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
